Description
Currently, if the app is open already in the menu bar, clicking on the app icon or launching via Spotlight will show the settings.
It would be lovely if we had the option to essentially do what the Activate on Launch feature does, but not only on launch, but on every new request to open the app, even if it's present in the menu bar.
Settings would still be accessible via right-click on menu bar icon → Settings...

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing Activate on Launch behavior and the handling for opening the app from its icon or via Spotlight. Implement the requested option so each new open request activates the app when it is already in the menu bar, while right-clicking the menu bar icon still exposes Settings.
